Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes at higher temperatures. PCl5(g) ⇄ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) An equilibrium mixture at some temperature consists of 3.74 g PCl5, 208.23 g/mol 4.86 g PCl3, 137.33 g/mol 3.59 g Cl2, 70.91 g/mol in a 1.00-L flask. If you add 1.31 g of Cl2, how will the equilibrium be affected and what will the concentration of PCl5 be when equilibrium is reestablished? shift left shift right no shift will occur [PCl5] = mol/L

The new concentration of PCl5 will be 0.0212637 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of Cl2 added = 1.31 grams

Molar mass Cl2 = 70.9 g/mol

Original Equilibrium Mixture:

3.74 g PCl5

4.86 g PCl3

3.59 g Cl2

Volume = 1.0 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

PCl5(g) ⇆ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)

Step 3: Calculate the original moles and molarity

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles PCl5 = 3.74 grams / 208.23 g/mol

Moles PCl5 = 0.0180 moles

[PCl5] = 0.0180 M

moles PCl3 = 4.86 grams / 137.33 g/mol

moles PCl3 = 0.0354 moles

[PCl3] = 0.0354 M

moles Cl2 = 3.59 grams / 70.9 g/mol

moles Cl2 = 0.0506 moles

[Cl2] = 0.0506 M

the new mass Cl2 = 3.59 + 1.31 = 4.9 grams

moles Cl2 = 0.0691 moles

[Cl2]= 0.0691 M

The new concentration at the equilibrium

[PCl5] = 0.0180 + X M

[PCl3 ] =  0.0354 - X M

[Cl2] = 0.0691 - X M

Step 4: Calculate Kc

Kc = [Cl2][PCl3] / [PCl5]

Kc = (0.0506*0.0354)/0.0180

Kc = 0.0995

Step 5: Calculate [PCl5]

Kc = 0.0995 = ((0.0691 - X)(0.0354 - X)) / (0.0180 + X)

X = 0.0032637

[PCl5] = 0.0180 + 0.0032637 M = 0.0212637 M

[PCl3 ] =  0.0354 - 0.0032637 M = 0.0321363 M

[Cl2] = 0.0691 - 0.00313 M = 0.0658363

The new concentration of PCl5 will be 0.0212637 M

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.

the cold front replaces the warmer air at the ground level changing the wind to be breezy and denser.there is also an immediate drop in the temperature.
